Start-up.
The unit may only be put into operation, when it is connected to a ready-to-use and fully armed air duct system (all grilles,
heaters, and air duct filters, etc., are fitted), in which all dampers, fire flaps, etc., are open. All inspection flaps must be closed,
when the recuperator operates.
After the initial start-up, the recuperator should operate for about half an hour. During the
test run, make sure that the unit operates smoothly, paying particular attention to the following:
•
excessive vibration or noise caused by the fan,
•
rotational speed losses, or overheating of the motor.
Should any of the above symptoms appear, immediately switch off the device and eliminate the cause of malfunction.
At the end of the test run, the device shall be inspected in general, as prescribed in paragraph 6.1.
7.
Operation.
Since the mechanical ventilation system is in constant operation almost all year round, its individual components should be
periodically inspected and cleaned. From time to time, clean the following:
•
Recuperator
•
Control panel
•
Supply and extract air diffusers located in the rooms
•
Fresh air intake and exhaust air discharge grilles
•
Ventilation ducts included in the recuperation system

7.1
Filters.
Periodic inspection/changing of the air filters must be carried out at least every 3 months. It is recommended to change the
filters at least every 3 months, regardless of their level of soiling, in order to maintain high quality of the fresh air supplied
to the rooms, and reduce energy consumption of the fans (a soiled filter causes an additional flow resistance).
In order to reduce the operating costs related to the OnyX Dream 400 recuperator, change only filter cloth.
